Dear Mom,

Author:

I wrote to Dad, I know he's been gone for years.

It just seemed easier that way. It's not quite that easy with you. You're still here; actually you're right here under my roof!

That doesn't seem to matter.
You're my Mom.
That seems to carry more weight than it should.

I'm your caretaker now.
I know you don't like that;
Neither do I.

I'm not sure I can handle it.

I've been so stressed out by so many things lately; taking care of my own needs has been put on the bottom of the list.

I'm your daughter.

I always have been.

I always will be.

You never knew that. You might've suspected that I was 'different'.

I always knew.

I hope you can deal with this.

I'm not sure I can.

I Love You Mom.
